THERE ARE days when the headlines make you wish for Christ’s return even more than usual. Today, we discuss the convicted murderer who posts to Facebook from prison, security contractor DynCorp’s latest link to the sex trade (read the report by Frontline on Afghan “dancing boys”, and watch the Frontline program online free at PBS.org), the bizarre rape and stabbing in Vacaville, California, and the Federal Aviation Administration, which has somehow managed to lose track of who owns a third of the aircraft in the United States.

Keep that in mind the next time you’re asked to step in front of an airport X-ray machine.

4 to “P.I.D. Radio 12/14/10: How Long, O Lord?”

We do not see our signs;
there is no longer any prophet,
and there is none among us who knows how long.
How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?
Is the enemy to revile your name forever?
Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?
Take it from the fold of your garment and destroy them!
